[Q] New Android Market crashing, unable to install old one

Hi Everyone,
Looking for help for an issue, I installed the new android market and was messing around with Titanium Backup (forgot to backup the app, dumb me!) anyway I tried to uninstall the new market to go back to the old one but when I did this the market app is gone from the manage apps area. My phone is a N1, running 2.3.4 and rooted, this what I have tried:
- Install the old market manually from a downloaded vending.apk, not working crashes to .com.android.vending every time
- After this I went to look in the /system/app folder for vending.apk and the app is not there, neither I am unable to copy the app using Droid Explorer or Root explorer, it says it is coping the app but is not there
- Re-install gingerbread update again to see if it gets the app back, did not work, still not in system/app folder
Does anyone know why I am unable to copy the vending.apk to the system/app folder? the phone is rooted but still can-t
Thanks!

If you're having problems with root permissions, try using ROM Manager to fix permissions. Another possibility could be busybox, so I recommend installing the version with Titanium backup (under the Problems? section of the menu).
Updating the market can be tricky, but I always find wiping data from Google Services Framework and (use app manager) Market (easier to use Titanium), and rebooting helps. Make sure you reboot before trying to use the Market...

I didn-t know about the Fix Permissions feature of ROM manager, I tried it and it work, I can now place the file on the system/app folder.
Thanks a lot!

[Fixed] Screwed up motorola.blur.providers.contacts

Tried to view one of my contacts and got a FC on Contacts Storage (motorola.blur.providers.contacts). Do not know whether this has ever worked. Have had this Bionic for a couple days and froze a bunch of Motorola ****. The list isn't very long and I can provide that if necessary, but I'm just assuming this is what has caused my Contacts issue.
On to the actual issue, I uninstalled Contacts Storage (using Titanium Backup) and was going to reinstall it from the backup, but TB just hangs.
Tried all three different "App Processing modes" in TB and it hangs on restore regardless of this setting.
Extracted the apk out of Titanium Backup folder and tried to run it manually and it won't go (using ES File Explorer, mounted System as R/W).
Tried moving it to /system/app/ and running it (still mounted R/W) and it fails.
Will restoring ONLY "System" fix my problem and not delete all my other data that I've been busy setting up? Is there even a way to restore only System, using that FXZ?
If I can just chill and not worry about it until they come out with Clockworkmod Recovery, how do I make a flashable zip with just Contacts Storage in it?
Edit: Tried installing with adb and it fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]. I see other apps in the /system/app folder have .odex files with them. Am I just missing this one for the contacts (did it get removed by TB?)?
Edit: Got the .odex file from here and it still fails trying to install via Root Explorer.
Edit: Installation via adb with NO switches fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
Installation via adb with /l switch to Forward Lock it fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
That Forward Lock one was a little past my point of not knowing what the hell I'm doing, so I will just chill and wait for a response. Thanks!
Edit: FXZ'd back to stock, installed CWM Recovery, backed up, restored Data only from the damaged instance via CWM Recovery, wiped cache. Everything is great and I didn't lose any data! Just had to get a fresh /system/ in there...

[Q] Help, can't install titanium backup after ics update.

I used to be on stock gb rom and rooted, then i flashed to stock ics rom through pc odin. However after being on ics rom i can't install titanium backup, it says device memory low or full, but i still have about 1gb of free space. All other apps would install without a hitch except titanium backup. Can someone please help?

First you should post exactly what rom you flashed and if you followed instructions if you rooted etc etc etc.
then maybe people can help you better.

- compumasterpr already mentioned it and you’re probably aware of it, anyway, TB of course needs root permissions
- TB stores the backups in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, so you can copy this directory manually for safety’s sake
- delete /sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup if it exists
- clear data of TB in settings-> applications
- if that still doesn’t help, have a look here:

When i flashed my Note from gb to ics i also lost root. So i think you should re root it

i already re rooted thru cmw.
update: i read somewhere here that i need to delete a file associated with TB, what i did was installed es file explorer to go thru the system files and deleted the so called file in sys/apps. that seem to did the trick as i can install TB.

Wrong path to SD Card

Hello,
Something goes wrong at my ROM. I installed an app to fix the writepermission. It works, all things fine. But then I played with some apps to customize my ROM and suddenly an freeze and then an reboot. After this my es Explorer tells me "path not found". The sdcard symlink goes to /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/. The other path to access the sdcard are /sdcard1/ /storage/sdcard1/
This works but not the symlink. I can also access the sdcard with Apps like Google+, picture Album or other. Only the Explorer won't work.
I try to change the /system/etc/permission/platform.xml but won't work. (I copied the stock file from the rom zip)
Can anyone help me to fix this? I don't want reflash the rom. I'm at Holiday and no wifi to update all the apps again. [emoji33]
Thanks

Start your phone without sdcard, then put it back. See if this works. Try uninstalling the apps that messed your phone.

Nothing works. I make an Backup of my Apps and data and make an reinstall. Problem solved.

[Q] How to Uninstall Stock Apps using Root Explorer

Guys, previously i have no problem delete any stock apps using root explorer/fx explorer.
But since i updated to lollipop and install back root explorer, it seems like something has changed.
Previously i just need to go system > app > then it will appear full list of item installed on my phone.
Now when i entering it showing list of folder only, in the folder it just an apk only...
Please help...Thank you

Yeah, its normal, nothing to be stressed about.
You can just delete those folders.
Btw the stock apps are not only in system/apps
But also priv-apps
Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion.
But im wondering delete the folder doesnt mean it uninstall the apps right ?
Also, previously unsintall any apk doesnt required reboot, but now it need to reboot only it take affect.
